Family Guy's first and second seasons were made
starting in 1999 after Larry shorts (its predecessor) caught the attention
of the Fox Broadcasting Company. Its cancellation was announced, but then a
shift in power at Fox and outcry from the fans led to a reversal of that
decision and the making of a third season. After that, it was really
canceled.
Reruns on TELETOON (and later Adult Swim) drove interest in the show up, and
the DVD releases did quite well, selling over 2.2 million in a year and
renewing network interest. Family Guy returned to production in 2004, making
two more seasons (for a total of five) and a straight to DVD movie, Stewie
Griffin: The Untold Story. A sixth season (2007-2008) was ordered in October
2006 and production has started January 2007.
